Heavy rainfall lashed the city on Sunday evening catching several commuters unawares. The rain led to flooding of several areas in the city.
The India Meteorological Department had issued a forecast for rain, thunder showers and hail in the State and maintained that this would continue on Sunday as well. Weatherman said that the rainfall was on account of an upper air trough, an area of atmospheric pressure, from East Vidarbha to north-interior Karnataka and passing across the state of Telangana.
While the initial spell of rain in the afternoon was light, the second one later in the evening, after 8.30 p.m., was heavier and continued beyond 11 p.m.. Motorists and commuters travelling on two-wheelers and pedestrians were stranded as it continued to pour. The city, the IMD said, recorded a rainfall of 1.3 mm up to 9.30 pm. “There was rain in the city, but no thunder showers. There was rainfall in different parts in Hyderabad and the activity started since morning,” a weatherman said.
Heavy rain was reported at Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Masab Tank, Lakdikapul, Mehdipatnam, neighbourhoods along the Inner Ring Road, and several parts of the Old City including Charminar, Moghalpura and Bahadurpura.
According to data obtained from Telangana State Development Planning Society website, the most cumulative rainfall of 13.3 mm till 10.30 pm was recorded in Shaikpet mandal. This was followed by Maitrivanam station, Ameerpet with 7.3mm and Asifnagar 4.3 mm.
While the traffic in the city was light on account of the Republic Day holiday, those travelling on two-wheelers were caught in the rain. Several people were seen taking shelter at bus stops and under flyovers. Those who had planned outdoor events rushed indoors while others had to face a washout.
